Just thinking...

"I got what i've always wanted in life, a guy..."

Wow. Them's some lofty ambitions, aren't they?

I'm only just realizing how glad I am that I always was taught to want more, to know that as long as I worked hard, I deserved more. I'm glad I've always surrounded myself with people who want more for me, and always remind me that I'm capable of good things.

I'm glad that Erik is everything I want in a guy, and part of that is the fact that he always supports me in wanting more out of my life. Our life. It's more than just temporary happiness at the expense of everything we could be. There are times that we don't agree on what our compromises should be, but at the end of the day, we make sacrifices to do what's best for us.

I'm the sort of person that aims for the most they can get in life - it's not necessarily the most money, or the most friends, or the nicest things. I want a decent living, a handful of friends I can count on for anything, and enough love in my life that even if I'm able to, I don't feel compelled to be a brandwhore to make up for things that aren't there.

I think I'm heading in the right direction.
